One That I Want by Luc out now!! - Click here to listen

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Luc's music is meant to express the personal, the subjective experience, the importance of not needing to belong, and through that not-needing, belonging. 'One That I Want' depicts the process of liking someone despite their not-fitting-in but rather being attracted to someone's lack of concern for how others perceive them. "I know you're uncool, but oh, you're the one that I want."

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

"The artworks for the series of singles forthcoming from Luc this summer feature pictures of cities and everyday life with slight distortions to mirror the message of the music: There are similarities for every individual experience, but they are not all the same."

EMM releases catchy new electro-pop track 'Dirty'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

If you're looking for something to jump start your day, look no further. EMM released her infectiously catchy new single 'Dirty' just last week and we haven't stopped playing it. Her energy and her writing style delivers a force so great you'll be hooked after your first listen. We love the instrumental and the gritty electro-pop vibe she has going on.

If you're looking for something fun or if you're looking for something to get the party started, EMM brings it all together for you. For fans of pop music, you're looking at the next big thing.

Don't forget to subscribe to EMM online to stay up to date on any future releases and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“Dirty is my anthem for every girl that's been weighed down and wounded by the shame that's constantly inflicted on women. Every day, we are told that we are both “not enough” and “too much.” Growing up I really struggled to love myself and was constantly shamed for my body and my sexuality before I was even old enough to understand what was going on.”

– EMM

Listen to Noah & Shagabond's new single 'Arouse' here

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Well, here's the sad news—we were totally late in covering Noah's and Shagabond's latest release 'Arouse' but nonetheless, the beauty of great music is that it never expires. Released just last week, the new track is a moody slow jam with R&B styled drums and a sensual-like vocal performance that'll surely "arouse" your interests. 

Buy link: https://NoahxShagabond.lnk.to/Arouse

We love the writing style from Noah and Shagabond's production style elevates the energy of the track in such a special and unique way. If you're a fan of the likes of Bryson Tiller, Miguel, or if you're simply just looking for a record to chill out and relax to, you found it. 

WHAT THE PRODUCER HAS TO SAY:

“We decided to meet up in Toronto for some studio time last September. I had a bunch of beats I had been working on over the summer that I was really excited to show Noah, but only one really stood out at the time. During an overnight session at a low-key studio in Toronto’s East end, we basically hashed out the entire track's production, but couldn't get the lyrics down."

— Shagabond

Ride the waves of 'Boogie Inferno' by Final DJS! - Enjoy here!

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

With tons of releases, Sebastian Stütz has rather been known for his 80's synth-wave productions in the past, and which made him a house-hold name in the disco and nu-disco era within the last six years on labels like Interscope, Kiez Beats, Compuphonic, NDYD Records, Wonder Stories or Sony Music Germany.

Imagine yourself riding down the beach side with rollerskates in the 80s. Disco music is coming from all over the place, sensual people dancing, ice cold drinks and an alluring sunset. This song takes you on a trip through decades of disco music. Chic, Sister Sledge, Giorgio Moroder....all of them coming together for a big party. Are you ready for the disco inferno? 

Sebastian Stütz just released a single via Love Harder Records which charted on Traxsource and Beatport. Sebastian is also working on several new songs which will release two bootleg remixes within the next month 'Everything She Wants' by Wham! and 'Wicked Game' by Chris Isaak

Call Me Karizma releases catchy new pop single 'Life Of The Party'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Call Me Karizma is the latest artist to land on our radar and we're so happy he did. Their new song 'Life Of The Party' is a simple and catchy new song that you'll enjoy more and more after every listen.

We love the production and the instrumentation, sure, but most importantly... what really pulled us in was Call Me Karizma's infectiously catchy writing style. We loved the lyricism and artist's personal reflection throughout the song. It's not only relatable, but it's also honest and packed with imagery.

It's an incredible song, I mean think about it. If you naturally start to bounce your head or hum along, that's generally a clear indication that the artist is doing something right.

So whether you're a fan of electro-pop, future-pop, or generally anything that's fun and easy-going, you will LOVE this. Call Me Karizma has a magic touch when it comes to songwriting and this new song proves just that.

We can't wait to hear more from Call Me Karizma in the coming months, but until then, I suppose we'll just have to keep 'Life Of The Party' on repeat. Enjoy! 

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“I wrote Life of the Party for the kids who feel alone. To let them know it is okay to stay inside and be by yourself. This song is a sad anthem for the delinquents.” - Call Me Karizma

• Avicii's "Fade Into Darkness." 

Pretty awesome right? We thought so too.

Fall in love with SHY Martin's latest—'Lose You Too'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Where do we even start with this next feature... 'Lose You Too', the latest release from singer/songwriter SHY Martin (real name Sara Hjellström) is exceptional. The songwriting, the lyricism, the guitar melodies, and the instrumentation all make up an exhilarating rush of euphoria.

The Swedish pop artist landed on our radar nearly a year ago and we've been obsessed since. 'Lose You Too' arrives at a time where the artist is still riding off the 35 million streams on Spotify from her first three singles as an artist; ‘Good Together’, ‘Bad In Common’, and ‘Forget To Forget’.

Watch the accompanying music video for 'Lose You Too' here;

An exploration of boyhood and masculinity by UK-based artist Rosie Matheson. 

from the artist
"I started shooting these images late 2015, documenting how young men express themselves, capturing their emotions, looking at how they present themselves in everyday life. The project explores expressions of masculine identity at a moment when the subcultures which give young men a voice are increasingly invisible. Ultimately, the work is about people who don't realise how special and interesting they are, and whose faces tell their story."
